GWERD Research on Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRB)Click here for related research
A Permeable Reactive Barrier (PRB) is a zone of reactive material that extends below the water table to intercept and treat contaminated ground water. GWERD researchers investigate the geochemical, hydrogeological, and microbiological factors that govern the performance and functioning of PRBs. Understanding these factors is necessary in order to predict the longevity of PRB systems, conduct economic analysis, and to optimize the implementation of this ground-water cleanup technology for a wide variety of hazardous compounds.
